about

a song about re-discovering old memories & trying to see the beauty in where you came from.

lyrics

give me some love,
give me some hope
give me a memory
to send me back home
I never could stand the sight of a stranger
land where you don’t know all the local dangers

hello, how are you, where did you go?
we’ve got answers to questions you already know
coat on the rack, shoes at the door
welcome to paradise,
you’ve been here before

chill out
slow down
it’s all okay now

chill out
slow down
it’s all okay now that

all of my names, all of my faces
one of these days they’re all gonna change
blow the dust off familiar places
fill up your heart with your love of the traces (x2)

you and me are free to sail away
but we’ve only just arrived
just arrived, and I
plan on staying for quite a while
maybe only just the night

chill out
slow down
it’s all okay now

chill out
slow down
it’s all okay now

all of my names, all of my faces
one of these days they’re all gonna change
blow the dust off familiar places
fill up your heart with your love of the traces
